New class of lightbulb

Just a variation to the popular "tl"tube but with a radiosignal instead of current through the gas. The same thing can be done by keeping the tl tube next to a radiating antenna.. The lightcolour is purely dependant to the chemicals in the coating as the light produced in the gas is uv.

this news caught me by surprise today:

A bunch of Yanks (called "Finally Light Bulb ) have produced an affordable, miniature size "induction lamp" for home use.

Identical in shape and appearance to the now banned light GLS bulbs with lumen /watt efficiency and colour quality similar to CFLs.

Instant start and no loss of life if cycled regularly as there are NO filaments to burn out.

Omni-directional light output - unlike most CFLs and LED lamps.

Can be safely handled and installed using the glass bulb - unlike fragile CFLs.

Higher rated versions on the way, being made in India.

First to post a review / tear down on U-tube will get millions of hits.

Which is really useful, Not. A quick perusal of the article indicates it was about getting the electronics down to a size to fit into a consumer standard x type light socket.
